Ballooning

Here is a look at the Coca-Cola "Bottle" Special Shape balloon inflating at the Great Prosser Balloon Rally, 2009. Note, a surface wind of nearly ten (10) mph was blowing during the inflation, pretty stable considering it's size.

SkyStar Airships
 

Watch the 25’ Coca-Cola RC Airship Launch then approach to land.

Blooper … Two scenes, the first, a mysterious run up to full power and a diving right turn (uncontrolled) results in an ugly (really ugly) crash landing. 

In the second scene, the pilot is reminded that the turning radius of the airship isn’t quite as tight as he might have hoped … good recovery though.

Taken on approach to landing during a test flight at Wildhorse Resort in Pendleton this clip provides a unique view (port and aft) of the landing approach. Note the airship shadow through the engine against the golf course early on in the clip.

Here is a short clip of the Coca-Cola RC Airship in a radical climb, then dive toward the ground. You wouldn’t think it would be so capable of such extreme flight configuration. Wind at the time was about 8 mph.

In this short clip you’ll see engine rotation from lift off with transition to level flight.
This is a very interesting control feature that allows for smooth launch and landing.
